Nick Markakis, whose two-run double off Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon made the difference in Tuesday night's miracle comeback, apparently cannot be intimidated by hard-nosed starter Josh Beckett either.

With runners at first and third and one out in the third, Markakis fell behind 0-2 on the count, but fouled off several pitches before lacing a double into the right field corner to score both runs -- Brian Roberts streaking around third and sliding home with the Orioles' fourth run of the game.

Beckett has given up so much hard contact that pitching coach John Farrell just went to the mound to talk to him before Luke Scott came up for the second time. And Beckett clearly wanted no part of Scott with Markakis at third, pitching carefully to a 3-0 count before intentionally walking him to bring Nolan Reimold to the plate.
